Default PICS! Dad bought a 64 Coupe Resto Mod!

After 2 years of searching, the old man finaly settled on his 7th Corvette. Fully restored 64 Fuelie Coupe, resto mod. Tons of Documentation, but not the original drivetrain, but we have a lead on where to find it. Not sure the final direction on it, but the Vette Rod display at Carlisle was awesome, so we're thinking of slamming it (espeically since his DD Silverado is slammed and sits lower than the vette ) Some new Foose wheels and overdrive. The car has brand new everything including a just broken in GM Fast Burn 385 crate motor and M-22 4 speed, Kenwood/ Bose soundsystem and iPod hookup, PW/ PB/ AC. I will get much better pics this weekend, but this is what I got today (he just picked it up last night) and I know some people on here are excited to see it

That's a great looking car. It's nice to find one in great condition and then do whatever pleases you to make to make it look the way you want.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the Vette Rod display in Carlisle. We've had many nice experiences in Carlisle but this was the best year ever.

Your father standing there in the garage staring at the beauty is alot like the commercial where Tony Stewart takes his Vette after Armorall and comes out with the drink and goes into a day long trance.

I am as happy for your dad, as I am sure you are. Great pictures of a beautiful car. By the way, it's not all about numbers matching in my book, more about the beauty and history.

Congrats again and enjoy
